EVENT HORIZONEMMA GETS PUBLISHED! MAY 13TH 2005
|

BIZARRE MAGAZINE
If you are a reader of Bizarre magazine firstly shame on you and secondly you may have noticed this little photo... You would not believe the attention it has attracted; from Italian writers wanting to make films with Owen to - wait for it - the Trisha Goddard show!!! Yes, it's true, Emma and Owen have filmed an interview with Trisha for her new, supposedly classier (it wasnt) channel 5 show! It will be aired in the next few weeks. "I did it for a laugh" says Emma. Emma is unsure of whether she actually wants anyone to watch it now though... EDIT: The infamous Trisha episode as now been aired twice! |
|||
MODELLING CAREERAs you may know, Emma is a multi-talented creature (dilettante i believe is the word!) and now she can be seen on the ******* store website modelling a variety of clothing in (of course) her local cemetary. She was headhunted and propositioned when showing paintings at the State Of The Art Tattoo convention, and, never having been one to turn down an opportunity to cry "LOOK AT ME!!!" she rose to the challenge. Her disgraceful posing and preening can be seen here
Edit: links and names have been removed as shop owner turned out to be less than trustworthy.

THE WEDDING OF THE YEAR!Emma has finally married the love of her life Owen Tooth after more than 8 years of unwedded bliss together. Links to the Wedding gallery and Honeymoon gallery here
|
|||
Xmas group show in LondonEmma will be showing three paintings (one of which has never been seen in london before) at the Michael Naimski Gallery in London in a december group show... watch this space! As it happens, this will be the last show in this gallery space as Mr. Naimski has bigger plans and will hopefully be leading us on international adventures in the not too distant future!
|
|||
Cover Girl and BoyEmma recently discovered that she and her beau Owen had become the cover girl and boy for dubiously named Norwegian music fanzine "Rimfrost"!

First Solo Show in LondonThis is an open invitation to all of you to see Emma Simcock's first solo show in London. It promises to be a cracker, with loads of brand new, never before seen work painted especially for the show. See you at the Michael Naimski Gallery http://www.naimskigallery.com/ 6 - 29 May 2004. **STOP PRESS!**I have now been over there personally to give the paintings a good spring clean and hang them and I can honestly say I'm really looking forward to the show! It is really exciting to see ones work of many years all come together in one place. It's like Judgement Day - all my deeds are layed out side by side by side to be 'Judged' as it were. Well, I saw them as the halogen seemed to illuminate them from within and I'm satisfied! It really is very satisfying to see them all together as they were intended. Even I've never seen them like that! I feel a sense of completion - like I'm ready to continue my work in and develop in new ways. Please watch with me to see what comes next; I hope it is a pleasant surprise for us all... |

Art 2004 updateART 2004 - The London Art fair is on at the Business Design Centre, Islington, N1 from14-18th January 2004. Find us at stand G33. The paintings Emma will be showing are Cherie and 2 brand new, never-before-seen paintings (don't poke them as the varnish is probably still sticky!), Ophelia 5 and the very personal Mayonaka Ni Kawashita Yakusoku, celebrating Emma's engagement, painted during preparations for her forthcoming wedding. Ophelia 5 is the most recent in the Ophelia series (as the title suggests!) but is the first to be based on actual underwater photgraphy Emma endured with the help of Arts Council funding. Click here to see the underwater fun! The exhibition will be Cherie's first outing, and much to the delight of the real Cherie this image has been chosen to represent the Michael Naimski Gallery in the catalogue!

|||
Yet another magazine appearance (yawns casually...)Emma will be appearing in another London magazine shortly - this time Eden Magazine. More details to follow soon...
|
|||
Capital Life AppearanceA section of Emma's now infamous painting, Back in 5 Minutes, features in full, glossy, glorious colour in new London lifestyle magazine Capital Life. The image appears with an article on Michael Naimski's burgeoning new gallery (issue: summer 2003. p.37). If you are one of the sorry few publications left who have not yet featured Emma please email her to arrange a date for a photoshoot etc.
|
|||
State Of The ArtThe gigantic Back in 5 minutes was hoisted 20 feet into the air on friday night and suspended above the stage at Derby's Assembly Rooms for the weekend during the annual State Of The Art international tattoo convention from 13-14 september. Emma was also interviewed for ITV News and so may appear at last on TV! The response was fantastic, especially considering the punters were there to see/ have their art on skin rather than on canvas. She is expecting to return with more paintings next year (provided she isnt too busy preparing to get married!) Big hello to Woodys Tattoo Studio and the biker gang she joined very briefly...
